Commenting on the visit, Dr. al Kuwari said:

“Aspetar is committed to help athletes reach their full potential, and that’s why we welcome sport stars, and Didier Drogba is unquestionably one of these stars who trusts the capabilities of Aspetar”.

Drogba’s visit is in line with an agreement signed at the beginning of this year and stipulating that Aspetar shall provide medical support to the Ivorian Football Team prior and during the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil.
